On Monday, Oct 5th, at 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, members of the Great Neck branch of AYLUS gathered at the Great Neck house to assist with the accessible art program. (25th)
The accessible art program helps children and young adults with disabilities explore their creativity and imagination through art of all different kinds. Each week, the students do a different project with multiple steps. Not something that limits their creativity like a coloring book.This program allows students to put away their personal life and let loose and draw. It lets the students socialize with people outside of school.
This week, students are working on making a creative mask for Halloween. Volunteers create multiple objects with clay. The students used markers to color the mask, and then decorated them with beads, stripes, diamonds and stickers. Volunteers made flowers, pumpkin, candle, bunny, lamb and many different kinds of object with clays. All of us are excited and looking forward to the Halloween.
